I've had this for a few years now and I LOVE LOVE it. Now that I'm in EMS, I'm a little nervous that people will interpret my Superman as an indicator that I'll be one of those EMTs; that's not the case at all. I plan on getting a matching Batman on my right calf. I'm a DC guy from way...

Terrific! I'm already a fan. :)

I bet y'all would get a lot more traffic if you had a Facebook page. Just a thought from a newbie. :)

I'm way too new to judge anyone's performance, but I hope I'm able to keep such a cool head in case I ever have to work on a family member in such frustratingly limiting circumstances. I hope your grandpa's condition improves.

What I was attempting to describe (unsuccessfully, it seems :) ) is a situation wherein the EMT, who is of a faith doctrinally and/or culturally controverted by the faith of the patient, initiates and/or leads what he/she perceives as welcome and appropriate spiritual ritual that inadvertently...

In the relatively brief interaction between EMS personnel and patients, kindness and compassion certainly go a long way to make the patient feel more at ease. Crossing the threshold from expressions of empathy and compassion into the infinitely complex world of religion and religious...

There are no medical "miracles"…there are as-yet unexplained physiological anomalies that are only very rarely beneficial to the patient's outcome. You can't praise a deity for the unexpectedly positive events without likewise attributing blame for the exponentially more frequent negative...

I'm finishing up EMT Academy with Acadian's program and it's my understanding that there's a lift test, but I haven't heard anything about an agility test.

Thanks? :unsure: (j/k) I've been logging in to NREMT.org and clicking "My Certification", but I keep getting "Error: Invalid EMT" messages. I'm guessing that's a bad sign? :unsure: Ugh. Why can't the results be immediate? :glare::glare::glare:

Took my test this morning; stopped at around 65. I honestly have NO CLUE how I did. :blink: I'm way too OCD to wait this out gracefully…

Thanks, Linuss! I'm infamous for over-analyzing test questions. Fortunately, we did some great test prep in class that has helped overcome my OCD tendencies. :) Hopefully I'll have good news by Tuesday morning…

I take my NREMT-B CBT in the morning and I'm a lot more nervous than I anticipated. >deep breath< I'd appreciate any positive vibes y'all could send in my general direction.
